Using --with-pcre1 to configure the latest R 4.0 (revision 77988) on an Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS system gives me the following error:

...
checking if lzma version >= 5.0.3... yes
checking for pcre2-config... no
checking for pcre_fullinfo in -lpcre... yes

checking if PCRE1 version >= 8.32 and has UTF-8 support... no
checking whether PCRE support suffices... configure: error: pcre2 library and headers are required, or use --with-pcre1

Maybe the real problem is that the PCRE version on this OS is 8.31?

The error message is not particularly helpful.

Thanks,
H.
